Function and purpose: Specially designed dog boots provide support and stability for dogs with foot conditions such as dropped paw or arthritis, offering protective joint relief for dogs with injuries and neurological issues like spinal cord trauma and IVDD. Prevention and protection: Orthopedic dog shoes help protect the feet of dogs that engage in outdoor activities or need to stand for extended periods, preventing damage to paw pads and toes. They also help protect foot wounds or ulcers, reducing the risk of further injury and infection, while distributing pressure across the feet to help alleviate discomfort caused by arthritis or muscle weakness. Structural design: Front leg dog splint shoes serve as an adaptive mobility aid for dogs with walking difficulties, featuring specially designed adjustable straps for a secure fit. The design lifts the dog's paw adequately, maintains a functional angle during movement, and stays securely in place to assist dogs with abnormal gait in adjusting their posture. Materials: These dog paw braces are constructed with a sturdy sole and durable fabric. The non-slip, resilient sole provides stability and traction, helping protect sensitive paws from injury. Reflective elements on the shoelaces enhance visibility and safety in low-light conditions. Measurement guide: Place the dog's paw on a piece of paper and press down gently to mark the width and length, then measure the dimensions. Sizes are based on manual measurements of the inner shoe dimensions, so slight variations may occur. Properly fitted orthopedic dog shoes may help improve your dog's mobility and comfort but should not substitute professional veterinary care.
